Introduction	The biggest thing about me right now is that I'm newly diagnosed with Cancer. Not fun! I'm a 56 female with a grown daughter who is living in Chicago. I live in Tucson, AZ. Not my favorite place, at least in the summer! The cancer was found by accident. I'd been complaining for over a year about a sporatic cough that never stayed "gone" for long, and when it started, would give me spasms of coughing that came on suddenly and wouldn't stop. It was driving me, and my boss crazy, because I am on the phone with customers all of the time, and it sounded terrible if a cough started while I was on the phone. So, finally, a Pulmonary Specialist. agreeded to a CT scan right away, and low-and-behold she spotted these 4 growths in the top of my liver. Needless to say the cough issue immediately fell to the background and I was set up for a biopsy. I'm starting this blog because of the messy diagnosis. I can't find much of anything about cancers with no discovered "origin" and what IS said is how short an expected life span is for such poor folk. I'm hoping to see if anyone else is interested in learning &/or living with such a weird cancer.
